<p>“No more way for poor people.”</p><p>No more way for poor people.</p><p>Catchy, isn’t it? Catchy is reality in the eyes of ignorance, for what is effort without work? There’s a social trend stating that the easiest way to failure is by listening to your parents, and my response is: lol.</p><p><br/></p><p>I see the statement as a partial truth and not the whole truth, and I’ll say a foundation cannot be built on a land that is filled with water. Simply put: for a future to be built on any structure, you have to drain the unstable ground first. Non-versatility can only produce what it knows and sees other paths as forbidden as a result of lack of knowledge, inability to keep up with the latest information, and non-adaptability. That is, if you only copy what you see, you’ll only get what they got.</p><p><br/></p><p>And they ask why and why, and I’ll tell them: it’s human nature. It’s human to make mistakes and give up, but it’s also human to learn from past experiences. As daring as the opening phrase is, it’s the absolute truth in any economy. Simply saying that experiences should be learned from and not just held onto, being informed goes a long way in securing stability.</p><p><br/></p><p>But do we now say not listening to our parents makes us successful? Or listening to our parents makes us successful? This is exactly where information comes in.</p><p><br/></p><p>For what is effort without work is something the Nigerian mentality needs to ponder on. What’s the essence of prayer if there’s nothing to hold it?</p><p><br/></p><p>The first law of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. What is the unbalanced force? </p><p><br/></p><p>Inasmuch as we believe in spirituality, manifestation is of the physical. Results can only be gotten from what is acted upon, and if there’s no clear path for us to walk in, it’s up to us to create our own.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
